Zach Bryan – Happy Instead (Guitar)

       C         G           Am       C/B    C
Well, I've been pacin' this room for forty hours

    C            G          Am  C/B    C
Crawlin' up the wall and tryin' not to call

    C           G            Am   C/B    C
And I saw you walking in a supermarket aisle

   C             G             Am       C/B    C
I didn't say a word 'cause you had the biggest smile

     C         G           Am          C/B    C
And I've been thinkin' of you in the morning times

      C             G           Am       C/B          C
You woke me up so soft that I forgot the world ain't kind

    C      G           Am        C/B        C
I pull you in and you kissed me through a grin

     C            G                      Am  C/B    C
And you say you missed me when you were busy sleepin'

               F              C
But what if I said happy instead

        G                          Am
Is the way that I reckon it should be

            F                    C
And if you called you'd say that you're okay

     G                    Am
And I'd be wishin' I was dead

                      F     C
'Cause you're happy instead

        G    Am
Happy instead

     C         G                Am      C/B     C
And I've been dreamin' of the life we would have had

  C         G       Am C/B     C
Happy at times but mostly just mad

  C            G        Am   C/B        C
Maybe it'd worked out, maybe it'd been fine

     C              G                   Am      C/B     C
But every day your smile ain't showin' seems a waste of time

              F              C
So what if I said happy instead

        G                          Am
Is the way that I reckon it should be

            F                    C
And if you called you'd say that you're okay

     G                    Am
And I'd be wishin' I was dead

                      F     C
'Cause you're happy instead

        G    Am
Happy instead

 C         G            Am      C/B      C
It's been ten years, I hadn't called you once

     C                G            Am   C/B     C
When you called last night and my child up and jumped

     C            G        Am C/B     C
He asked who you were and you did the same

  C             G          Am         C/B       C
Handed me the phone and I couldn't recall your name

               F              C
But what if I said happy instead

        G                          Am
Is the way that I reckon I should be

              F                    C
And if you'd call you'll hear that I was okay

     G                       Am
And you'd be wishin' you was dead

                      F     C
'Cause I'm happy instead

        G    Am
Happy instead

               F      C
Oh, I'm happy instead

       G      Am
Happy instead

          F               C
What if I said happy instead

       G                          Am
Is the way that I reckon I should be

            F                    C
And if you call you'd hear that I'm okay

     G                        Am
And you'd be wishin' you was dead

                  F      C   G  Am
'Cause I'm happy instead
